The Holy Spirit Comes

Acts 2:1–41

For children

The disciples were praying together. Suddenly there was a sound like a rushing wind and little flames on their heads. The Holy Spirit filled them, and they spoke in languages they had never learned! Peter preached about Jesus, and 3,000 people believed.

For grown-ups

The promised Spirit is poured out, Babel is reversed, and the church is born. Peter's sermon is a model: Scripture, the cross and resurrection, repentance and baptism.
